Hey, Tamil movie fans—get ready for some exciting news! Today, at 02:43 PM IST on Thursday, June 12, 2025, we’re diving into the latest update about DNA. This intense crime thriller with Atharvaa Murali and Nimisha Sajayan has found its streaming home, and we’ll all get to watch this gripping drama online after its theatrical run, which is just around the corner!
DNA has locked in JioHotstar as its streaming partner, with the announcement made yesterday, June 11, 2025. The movie hits theaters on June 20, 2025—so just over a week away! Directed by Nelson Venkatesan, known for films like Monster and Farhana, DNA dives into a dark crime story with a lot of heart. Atharvaa plays Anand, a guy searching for justice, while Nimisha Sajayan is Divya, his wife, who’s struggling with postpartum psychosis after their baby’s born. The trailer, which dropped on June 11, gives off seriously intense vibes—Divya’s mental state gets questioned after something pretty disturbing goes down, and Anand’s left piecing things together while dealing with corruption and personal struggles. The cast is packed with talent—Ramesh Thilak, Balaji Sakthivel, Viji Chandrasekar, Chetan, Riythvika KP, Subramanian Siva, Karunakaran, and Pasanga Sivakumar are all on board.
Nelson, who co-wrote the script with Athisha Vino, has been gushing about his leads. He says Nimisha is one of the best actors out there, and her role as Divya is going to be a big moment for her. He’s also been a fan of Atharvaa since his Bana Kaathadi days, praising his strong screen presence. The buzz has been building with two songs out already—Kanne Kanave, a beautiful melody by Sreekanth Hariharan and Sireesha Bhagavatula, and Feelingu Paatu, a fun track by Sahi Siva about relationships and heartbreak. Dhanush even gave the film a shoutout when he unveiled the teaser back in January, and Red Giant Movies picked up the Tamil Nadu theatrical rights, which shows how much people believe in this project.
For Atharvaa, this is his first big release since Nirangal Moondru, and he’s got more coming with Idhayam Murali and Parasakthi. Nimisha’s been killing it lately in Tamil films like Chithha and Jigarthanda Double X, after being a star in Malayalam cinema. I’m really looking forward to seeing them together for the first time—they seem like a fresh pair, and with such a heavy story, their chemistry could be amazing.
I’m super excited, but I’ve got a couple of things I’m wondering about. Nelson’s films can be hit or miss—Monster was a quirky gem, but Farhana didn’t click with everyone. DNA looks intense, and the postpartum psychosis angle sounds like it could add a lot of depth, but I hope it doesn’t fall into the usual crime thriller traps or overdo the drama. They’re talking about “unflinching truths” and systemic corruption, which sounds awesome, but I’ll be curious to see if it’s got a balanced take or just goes for shock.
With JioHotstar as the streaming partner, we’ll probably get to watch DNA online a few weeks after its theater run—maybe by mid-July if it follows the usual schedule. That’s perfect if you miss it on the big screen or just want to watch it again at home. But I’m definitely planning to catch it in theaters on June 20—Atharvaa and Nimisha in a crime drama like this sounds too good to miss!
